California Sheep.Shearers.

Still further south is the Nejuil Ranch, comprising four thousand acres. Chief amo ng it's possessions arc the vast herds of sheep that wander over its broad domains Perhaps nothing is more in teresting than to watch the processes by which the wool is obtained. The sheep shearers are mostly of Mexican origin, and when they put in their appearance present picturesque sight, with their gay neckerchiefs and swarthy counte- nances. They would do we'll in pie ture, but as human beings they are to be avoided. Cruelty and love of gaming are their chief characteristics. They snip, snip the sheep, and if they take out . piece of flesh with the wool, they snip out another alongside, to make it nice and even, meanwhile chanting some queer little rune Then vat of acids is prepared, into which they drop the poor creatures, old sheep and little lambs, humping them down with poles, in order that they may be we'll immersed, not caring for the raw, tender flesh exposed by their brutality, nor for the feebleness of the lambs, which scarcely know which way to go. The old sheep which has passed through several seasons of this sort of thing, immediately swims through the vat to the place of egress, and passes out; not so the lamb, which struggles and strangles, with that cruel pole push- ing it down under the bitter waters, not knowing what to do. Many of them are thus drowned, and the imp-ike shearer, uttering an ugly oath, fishes them out. At night these inhuman beings sit up and gamble away every dime earned through the day to the sharpers who follow in their wake, but the next day go to work again, chant ing and shipping with accustomed celerity. -[ Cosmopolitan Magazine.

The Hurricane Geyser.

The most wonderful of all the wonders at the Norris Basin, Yellow Stone Park, is known as the Hurricane Geyser. It is recent outbreak, scarcely year old. The crater is about twenty by thirty feet, and is inclosed in solid wall of rock, about ten feet in depth, to the surface of the water, and no ono can tell how far below this rocky inclosure ex- tends. Several days ago we could sit on the north end of this rock rib and watch the torrid waves rush down the inclosure, striko the wall beneath our feet and sink into the earth, to reappear at the upper end with undiminished force. Now, eight days later we find that the boiling flood shoots out over the wall where we formerly sat.
 The Hurricane presents the appearance of revolving liquid globe, There is a huge powder in the center of the quad rangular crater, over which the water dashes with such force as to give it the appearance of an immense wheel in per petual motion. The intense heat may be realized, in measure, when it is stated that the rocks ten feet from the edge are so hot that the naked hand can only be held on them for an instant. The water is turbid and bears evidence of the fact that tho subterranean cham = dently absorbing the material that has been discharged at other geysers.- Pioneer Press "','

A Sight to Feast the Eyes.

There was sight in Buckskiu G',lch yesterday that would have made the oldest placer miners heart leap with joy. The surface gravel had been washed of, and the large cut in the jagged bedrock for over 100 feet was a mass of glittering gold. In places where it had lodged in the crevices it could be picked up by the spoonful. About pint of nuggets, from $2o to $50 in weight, were picked up in the forenoon by Charles Dudley, and about twenty pounds of gold had already been taken to the bank, which had been scooped out of the potholes. No very large pieces had been found, the largest would probably not go over three ounces. The clean up, which will probably take two or three days yet to make complete, will be by far the largest ever made in the camp. It is estimated to reach 50 pounds, or in the neighborhpod of e9o00.---I ICour d'Alene Qdahol Sun.

Social Characteristics in Japan.

Dr. w. J. Holland, naturalist of the United States Eclipse expedition, now in Japan, is making some interesting studies of the social habits and charac- tcristics of the Japanese He finds that while they are very deficient in ma chinery they are wonderfully dexterous and skillful in handwork of all kinds. Thus he says: 'I do not believe that in all the United States there is a single individual who could perform the feat accomplished the other day by wood carver who took from his pocket little knife with short wooden handle, and proceeded ,o carve on the surface of wooden tray, six inches by eight inches
 in size, an elaborate design, which he completed in the incredible space of five minutes and eight seconds, timed by stop watch. The movement of his fin gers was as rapid as that of the most skillful performer upon the piano, and his strokes were as unerring and effcc- tive" The same dexterity character izes all their manual operations, com pensatiug in some degree for the lack of machinery. Thus, in farming, although there is not blow in Japan, the soil is thoroughly titled and the farms are kept absolutely free of weeds. The work is all done with hand hoe. All farm land is made to produce two crops annually, this result being accom- plished by what we call ''high farming" that is, the free use of fer tilizers and thorough tillage. In this re- gard American farmers might learn valuable lesson from the Japanese. Dr. Holland finds tho people generally in- dustrious, thrifty, economical and tenn perate, even-tempered, light hearted, plain and abstemious in their habits, cheerful and contented. Wages are very low, but the cost of living is propor- tionately low, and the Japanese lal orer manages to make both ends meet with out worrying himself. And I must say," says Dr. Holland, ';that the Jap anese does his work apparently quite as we'll as his American compcer, though bis tools arc much lLferior."

Nationality of European Monarchs.

It is curious fact that there is hardly reigning monarch in Europe whose family is of the same nationality, pur sang, as the people governed. The house of Austria is really the house of Lorraine, and even in their origin tho Hapsburgs were Swiss. And ii the Elm peror Francis Joseph be not, strictly speaking, an Austrian, still less he is n Hungarian, although he is king of Hun gary. The king of the Belgians is . saxe-C -Coburg; the monarch of Spain is . Bourban; the king of Italy Savoyard; the king of Roumania and Prince Ferdi- nand of Bulgaria are both foreigners; the founder of the Bernandotte dynasty m Sweden was born at Pau less than a century and quarter ago; the czar is . Holstcin Gottorp. and the king of tho Holsteiner Even in our own royal family there i, very little English blood left. The Hohenzollerns were originally suabians, and therefore partly Bavarian and partly Swiss. Neither was the his toric house of Orange, in which patriot ism has nearly always been the first iu- stinct, Dutch to begin with. .-[St. James Gazette

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has reaffirmed the constitutionality of the oleomargarine law in the case of Walker vs. The Commonwealth, thus sustaining the position taken by it in the case of Powell vs. The Commonwealth, decided in January last. The court said, in giving judgment: "We were of opinion in the case of Powell vs. Com monwealth, as we are now, that the legislature has tho power to prohibit the manufacture and sale of an article detri- mental to the public health. Whether oleomargarine was such an article was a question of fact, and ono which had been determined by tho legislature. We are bound to presume that was done upon sufficient evidence. The question now presented by the defendants was not di- rectly made in the court below upon the trial of Powell vs. The Commonwealth, and was not pressed upon our attention. We affirm this case pro forma, in order that both cases may go to the United States Supreme Court together"

A day-dream, and yet reality, for, as she raised her eyes. Jack, or else his ghost, was standing beside herl
 But it was no ghost who flung his arHl round her neck, and repeated again and again:
 "My darling! My jill my treaaure"
 "Oh! Jack, Jack; I thought you would never comeT
 "So did l." he said, solemnly. But look at me, my dear one; I am not the same, l."
 Then she saw that the right sleeve of his coat was hanging empty at his side.
 "No, Jack, your are not the. same, :" she said, catching up her breath, <sfe4e you are mine now, whatever is in store for either of us. Only forgive mo for not having trusted you sooner"
 ''Yet that was we'll, my love, because, you see, if we had been promised to each other and I had come back to you like this, why you would have felt obliged to have me, and-perhaps-- perhaps"
 'I should never have been so worth less as that, hope; but doing without you has taught mo to value you now, and if tho lines have been hard"
 She was crying on his poor wounded shoulder.

There is no mn in the United States who is as well-known in Europe as Buffalo Bill He has become the subject of children's story books. He is just as much of hero as Jack the Giant Killer to the children of England. Every book and toy shop has Buffalo Bill books and pictures in every form and device to appeal to childish im- sgination. In Paris the other day, in the window of one of the leading mil inery shops, saw gray felt hat for a lady bearing the name 'Le chapeau But- falo Bill. Various managers have sought to exploit this extraordinary notoriety. The offer of $1,O00, 900 came from very wealthy English firm of spectators. Another manager has sought to make a future contract with Cody to deliver a series of lectures upon frontier life after he has finished with the show business. Some of Cody's friends in Nebraska have written to him to throw up the show business and como home, now that he has made SO much money, and that they will send him to QoogresA

From China papers of recent date 1t appears that tho authorities of Pekin have recently taken Q census of the em- pire, and as it was for taxing purposes the proneness to disbelieve in the large estimates must be modified accord ingiy. The figures returned by the vil- lage baiiiffs make the population 319,- 8e3, 500, which, together with the esti- mate of five provinces omitted, makes tho aggregate about 202, 900, 900. These figures arc independent of tho population of Corea, Thibet and Kashgar.

Imitation Jellies.

A year or two since man in the town of Oswego found himself with large crop of red entrants, and, as tho price in the market was too low to permit him to sell them at a profit, he manufactured them into 'jam," or ''jelly," using the best of sugar, and producing a most cx cellent article, which hc imagined would sell to families and hotels readily. He found the hotels supplied with cheap, impure article, manufactured from gluten and acids and colored to resemble somewhat ln color and taste currant jelly, which the landlords told him answered every purpose, as the boarders didn't know the difference, and it could be procured at a rate much lower than he could afford to sell tho pure, delicious, wholesome article, be- cause they sold at retail an article which answered the purpose" even lower than he could afford his at wholesale. The result was the enterprising man, who thought he would do the people great kindness by furnishing them with pure, deli cious article of currant jelly at cost less than they could manufacture it themselves, had a large quantity on hand to send to friends and to pass around ''in cases of sickness" etc. But we haven't heard of his manufac- turing any more ''pure currant jelly for market. A few years since a gentleman in Union village started the manufacture of apple-jelly, and ho produced very pure and delicious article, which should have commanded ready sale at hotels, bakeries and in families, for the table and for pics, tarts, etc. But the business did not prosper, we think. At all events, it was suspended. An inferior article, made up largely of adulterations, which
 answered the purpose, took tho trade -[Oswego (N. Y.) Times.

The Cars Wrists of Steel.

During the Czar's visit to Copenhagen German conjurer was giving an exhi- bition of his skill before a royal party at Fredensborg when the Czar took up the pack of cards with which the presti- digitateur had been operating and said: "I will show you another trick, but doubt whether you will be able to add it 10 your repertoire" The Czar then tore the pack of fifty-two cards ia two without apparently the slightest effort. The snowman produced another pack and tried to initiate his example but in vain; only those possessing wrists of steel can in this case follow suit. It is no trick, but the exercise of almost superhuman strength. A few minutes later the Czar called for silver dollar and bent it double between the thumb and forefnger of his right hand.

How LicOrice Is Made.

'1t is almost an impossibility," said we'll known New York pharmacist re- gently to Mail and Express reporter, "to tell how much licorice is really con- sumed by people in the city of New York. The amount is almost incredi- ble, and probably reaches thousand of pounds annually"
 s'How is the drug obtain eda' was asked.
 "A species of licorice is found on the shores of Lake Erie, though good deal comes from further West. The plant from which it is obtained is called gly- cyrrhlza. It grows very erect, to the height of about four or five feet, and has few branches. It bears flower formed like that of a pea, but of violet or purple color. The root in its raw state is we'll known as the licorice root of com merce. It attains length of several feet and is often an inch in diameter. When the root has attained the age of three years it is taken up and from this, before it becomes dried, is made the ex- tract of licorice, sometimes known as Spanish licorice. This juice is prepared by boiling the root with water; the de- coction is then decanted off and evapo- rated to proper consistence for forming the substance into sticks, five or six inches long and an inch in diameter; these are the Spanish licorice of com merce.
 ''Is not the article adulterated?"
 ''Yes, it is often nothing else than a mixture of the juice with the worst kind of gum arabic. Metallic copper scraped off the evaporating pans is very ire quently present, and starch and flour sometimes constitute nearly one-half of the substance"
